Our Mates’ Farm

Accidental Orchardists working to integrate livestock into a sustainable orchard system

We are Matt and Coreen, and we have been a partnership for over 20 years.

We love travelling, rock climbing, scuba diving and fishing. We no longer do these things as much as we once did because for the last five years we have been the proud owners of a farm in the beautiful Huon Valley in southern Tasmania, which is about as far south as you can get in Australia. This is where we work hard to grow amazing food and raise our two children, Julian and Rachel.

At Our Mates’ Farm we grow certified organic apples, sheep and cattle, as well as free range rare breed pigs.

We believe the animals we eat deserve love and respect, and that the people who eat the food we grow and raise have the right to know exactly how it has been produced.

Our apples and apple juice are available at our farm gate stall at 291 Arve Road in Geeveston, and we sell our pork, lamb and beef via www.ourmatesfarm.com whenever it is available.

We are working towards having a retail space for our meat in the near future.
